Gigabyte RTX 4070 Ti Gaming OC is on sale in Serbia at a ridiculous price
It looks like some retailers are not waiting for NVIDIA to announce the new cards.

Redditor discovers the brand new RTX 4070 Ti graphics card already on sale. The card is now available with the price and model name clearly visible to customers. This happens more than a week before NVIDIA officially lifts the sales embargo.
The card on the shelf is a Gaming OC model from Gigabyte. This model has not yet been seen in any leak before, and the packaging does not reveal the design either. Needless to say, by putting the card on the shelf, the retailer has spoiled the surprise from Gigabyte.
Judging from the price tag on the box, this card is sold at 154,999 RSD, which exchanges to something around 1,400 USD. That is of course an absurd price for this model and the retailer is clearly taking an advantage of selling the card early.

Another Redditor shares a picture from Costa Rican shop, who also confirm that RTX 4070 Ti cards are already in stock, but at least in this case the embargo sale will be respected. This is also the first known confirmation of MSI Gaming X Trio model. Both cards are set to officially launch on January 5th.
